August Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKDK LMNM| In drooping leaves of the plane | A |
| Hangs blue the early heat | B |
| Stirless a delicate shade | C |
| Sleeps on the parching street | B |
| - | |
| I wander this listless morning | D |
| By the banks of the dazzling river | E |
| On the hot stones lean where toward me | F |
| Lights from the water quiver | E |
| - | |
| And clasping hands upon eyes | G |
| I plunge my thought in a dream | H |
| Of days when the sharp air stung | I |
| And the ice crushed cold in the stream | H |
| - | |
| Vainly on body and mind | J |
| Has the tyrant sun his will | K |
| And to me on the hot stone leaning | D |
| The city is faint and still | K |
| - | |
| Is faint as listening sands | L |
| Where awed by the heavy calm | M |
| Of the desert heaven listens | N |
| For ever alone the palm | M |
